Wrap Bracelet Class on April 30, 2016 - 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Learn how to make a stylish bracelet you'll get all wrapped up in!

If you’ve seen the Chan Luu bracelets selling for $190 or more, you may be excited to see that you can learn to make something similar yourself, and put your own designer touch on it!

Needed materials include:

  • 1.5 - 3 yards of 1.5 or 2mm leather (waxed linen or cotton ok)
  • 2-3 strands of 4mm - 6mm beads. Czech glass, Swarovski crystals, pearls, or other gemstones are fine, but make sure the holes are large enough for the thread (doubled) to go through twice.
  • 1 button
  • Nymo size B or D thread (or nylon cord on a card or fireline) in a color that either matches or opposes your leather depending on taste.

Instructor is available 30 minutes prior to start of class to help you choose materials if you would like. Materials for your project are not included in the class fee. You may choose from our large selection or bring your own. At the end of class you will pay for the materials you used for your project. All necessary tools will be provided in the class by the instructor.
